Enjoy fixed spreads
Trade with confidence in the knowledge that even in times of high volatility, you can trade with a fixed spread on our CFD Indices during market opening hours.
Benefit from global opportunities
The world’s leading stock markets constantly change as the underlying publicly-traded companies of an index move up or down in value. This presents an exciting opportunity to trade on the direction of the major indices, by placing either a buy (go long) or sell (go short) order.
